Richmond. THE MUSICAL SOCIETY.-W« are pleased (o hear that our popular society is preparing for another grand effort, and with an entirely new bill of fare. They have now in pre- paration " The Dream,'' a serenata by Sir Michael Costa, the words by W. Bartholomew, which is divided into sevenparts-including aria, recitative, and chorus. Both words and music are very pretty, and those who believe in classical music will appreciate the action of tba Society's director in introducing it. PRIZE SHOOTING.-On Saturday last, by invitation, we were present at the annRal fir- ing for Prizes by the Cadets of Richmond Superior Public School. The afternoon was suitable for firing-except towards the finish, when the wind rose-for the sun| was clouded to the extent of subduing both heat and glare. Mr. Allen, having put his team of twelve through a preliminary drill, seived out twelve rounds of ball cartridge, and Alderman Ke Iv. who had kindly consented to act as marker, had taken up his position,...

LOCAL AND GENERAL. THE Comet has been flirting with old Sol during the week; and amateur observers have been numerous. Mr. Tebbutt savs that the phenomena observable in connection with the present visitor, is nearly the same as occured with the Comet of 1843-though he does not think it is the same body. Mr. Tebbutt also says that towards the end ol the week, the present visitor will be an imposing object in ' the West during the evenings. We may also look out for tho-ie beautiful Auroras that were so brilliantly disp'ayed in 1861, consequent on a possible near approach of the earth, to the tail ADULTERATION OF LIQUORS. - In a recent report of Mr. J. K. Waters, Inspector of Li- quors, fr Melbourne, an extract says : - '?Brandies (two samples), consists of colonial low wines, produced oy first distillation of vineyard wash, cleaned apparently by animal charcoal, coloured and flavoured by essence of cognac. Whiskey (three samples), all con- tained a solution of sulphate of copper (blue...

SPARKS It is like a dr-am that thc Municipal Council of Richmond appointed an Inspector of Nuisances some short time a^o. If it is a fact, whi r-* does this official hang out, that he c innot see the animated posts and rails grazing in the main streets of the Borough? Not only do these hungry looking kine ob- trude on the pathways, but, somehow, they find their way into the Park, where the young foliage of the trees, a ff o d them a sligh: re f- cti -IM ifrer 3 fast, ju*t bv wav of a s tack, U-:.o:e th-y g-t int.. somebody's garden, fora i- i ù ? c to ;t^ Hungerford, tile junior iaem^.-r for North- umberlind, says in the effulgence of his wis- dom, tnat the wholesals destruc ion of forests, has no effect on the climate.

THE ÎMiuMuîu; Cjjnmirle. AND FARMERS' ADVOCATE. ô' A TUR I) A Y, SEPTEMBER 23, 1SS2. ONE of the Sydney dailies in a most dolorous wail prognosticates no more cheap meat in Now South Wales, and certainly adduces ;i lot of data in support of its uncomfortable prophecy. New York is quoted to show that though a city may he situate in the most extensive cattle breeding country in tho I world, its citizens may have to pay exhorbi tant prices for their sirloin or rump steak. It is a fact that once butchers meat rises to an abnormal price it is a difficult thin"; to fret it down again. It has been so in Eng- land, at any rate: for since its rise some twenty years ago. meat has not fallen in price to any great extent. Our own ex- perience takes us back to the time of the Crimean war. when, we remember, prices ranged from fourpence to sevenpence per pound for prime joints-ami that was in a fashionable watering place were tho price of everything is invariably higher than in other . places.

Richmond. TRE vreather is still the chief consideration juat now, and people are wishing the comet, its tail, and all its belongings, at the deuce. Our street* are laden with dust, our shop beepers cr_, aloud at its invasion, and having no means ot' la} ing it, tiley caa simply grind their teeth and talk about getting a new clerk of the weather. This may seem unorthodox, but just now we are living iu unorthodox times, and we are nappy to see that our townsman, the member of Argyle thinks un- orthodoxy is worth voting for ; though our chosen one did not see his way clear to ex- pose himself to odium by Toting either way ; which is very canny, Alex, in one sense, though, deuced uncanny in another WESLEY AIT BAZAAR.-This^ -of course, is quite orthodox, and being so, we are at liber- ¡ ty to wish it every success. We do so, and hope everybody will r jil up on Wednesd iy and Thursday n x", tue 4th and 5th instant, at 2 o'clock, and make the School of Arts, a sight worth seeing. We are in...

SPARKS The Bulletin says " For the futuro all citv telegrams marked * urgont' will be delivered hy- the new l'ostmastei-General, in person, on a biey cle. Minister Forster's reply to the Mayor cf Newtown, ult the intimidation question, is unanswerable. He said : " Tue m m who used the threat wag frequently the scoundrel who lett it to th- more courageous man to do the worst part of the Work." Hear! hear! ! Mr. IUicl.a.vm. though intemperate in many things, argued soundly and logically on tins question.
